The American Legion is encouraging Minnesotans to fly their American flag with pride this Fourth of July. Deputy Director Mike Buss says “Old Glory” should be honored by all citizens regardless of political views, because the flag represents all Americans and what we believe in. Buss says any U.S flag displayed 24 hours a day should be properly illuminated at night. He adds it’s o.k to decorate or dress items that resemble the flag as long as it’s not made from an actual American flag.
